It should be Balti getting the nod.Originally posted by Joe Yabuki View PostI dont think Tim has openly talked about someone outside the pool apart from Justin Arana, Tim already said he was considered but shut down immediately due to his height (6'6). Well okay maybe Balti but that has to do with politics.Originally posted by live_evil View Postpeople are using his PBA performance as gauge. But he is obviously not FIBA-ready with his height and playstyle.Originally posted by lurklurk View PostShould've put Phillips there instead of Arana. I wanted another mobile big there (aside from Balti) who can move his feet better than QMB and Chiu. Arana was top of mind, but I agree with most here that there are guys who should be ahead of him.Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostSo arana still for gilas?
In my defense, I just commented on the roles the players sir lurklurk listed. But, I don't think Arana should be considered unless he can at least play the 4.

Originally posted by IPC View PostThing with Arana is, he's a 6'7" player who almost exclusively plays center. He's not exactly a high-level rim protector for a center, he can't really defend the perimeter despite being only 6'7", and I think his range is only around 18 feet.

Now, we have 6'7" Carl Tamayo in the current Gilas team, who also isn't that athletic. Difference is, Carl can shoot (although his percentages in the KBL so far don't reflect that), and he can play the 4 in FIBA, which is pretty OK for his size.

If only Arana is 2 inches taller, I think he would be a perfect successor to Junmar."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

I have been watching Tamayo's ballhandling in the KBL. His ballhandling from the backcourt is okay, but his one-on-one dribble drives to the basket is very turnover prone, or ends up hoisting an awkward shot. Well maybe someday he will perfect his dribble drive skills.

Why is this ? Cause each case is uniquely different, we don't really know all the details of each specific case .
in the case of Harris his case does not have any factors know that would disqualify him from an exception. He has residency and Domestic league play ( however short). FIBA guidelines has no minimum requirements for residency or domestic play. ( So he's not disqualified for exception), Clarkson on the other had is indeed disqualified for exception based on the primary basis for exception.Originally posted by zairex View PostLearn about jurisprudence
Again it's all about influence rather than common sense or fairness

That's why at 6'8,CTC has no qualms to put him as the backup SF,he starts his offense at the perimeter or above the shaded lane,it creates space,specially if he's scoring.
